Secret Identity: Who Should Play Catwoman In 'Batman 3'?

5 November 2009 1:02 PM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

In all likelihood, we're still quite a ways off from any real news regarding a third "Batman" movie from director Christopher Nolan—if he's even returning to the franchise, that is—but that's not stopping us from wondering which Dark Knight villain we should see in the inevitable sequel.

There's no shortage of rogues to choose from, but the one I think is an absolute necessity is Catwoman. Given the state of Bruce Wayne's life after the events of "The Dark Knight," this feels like the perfect time to introduce Selina Kyle—the woman who could either help mend Bruce's fences, or bring all of the walls tumbling down.

If Nolan, David Goyer and the other folks at DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. decide to go the Catwoman route, I think that these five actresses would be great for the role.

'Sin City' Producer Bringing 'Almighty' To The Big Screen

5 November 2009 6:58 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

Ed Laroche’s graphic novel “Almighty” has been optioned by “Sin City” producer Stephen L'Heureux’s Solipsist Films.

According to Mania, “Black Hawk Down” screenwriter Ken Nolan is also attached to adapt the script and “Almighty” is already being shown to potential directors.

Created, written and drawn by Laroche, “Almighty” takes place in 2098 and follows Fale, a female mercenary who is hired to rescue a girl from kidnappers and bring her home safely across the dangerous terrain of a "third world America" that has descended into neo-tribalism.

According to Laroche, Fale is a departure from the standard female action hero—embodied in recent years by Kate Beckinsale’s Selene from the “Underworld” film series and numerous Milla Jovovich movies like “Resident Evil” and “Ultraviolet.”

"I don't see a five foot four, hundred and ten pound girl kicking everybody's ass in that role, and then she's pretty too, on top of it, »

Beckinsale Found Sexy Title 'Mortifying'

5 November 2009 12:11 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Kate Beckinsale was mortified after she was branded the Sexiest Woman Alive - and she hates admitting she's the owner of the title.

The Underworld star was handed the honour by Esquire magazine earlier this year, knocking beautiful Halle Berry off the number one spot.

But the bashful Brit insists she has struggled to cope with the alluring name - and finds it hard when people quiz her over her new sexy status.

She says, "It's such a nice thing to happen and then immediately it's mortifying.

"Somebody came up to me in the street and went 'are you the sexiest woman alive?' And I went 'yes,' and then I thought, 'Errrggh I can't say yes to that!'

"I should be shot on sight for that, it's awful!" »

Everybody’s Fine To Feature New Paul McCartney Song

29 October 2009 9:35 AM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Paul McCartney has written an original song, “(I Want To) Come Home,” for the upcoming Miramax’s new holiday dramedy “Everybody’s Fine,” starring Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell.

After attending an early screening of the film, McCartney felt a deep connection to the material and began writing the song that very night.

“Everybody’s Fine,” written and directed by Kirk Jones (Waking Ned Devine), is the story of a widower (De Niro) who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children only to discover that their lives are far from picture perfect.

Collaborating with composer Dario Marianelli on the orchestrations, McCartney has crafted an intimate song that compliments the themes of the film and serves as a final grace note to the moving story.

Reflecting on his reaction to the film, McCartney said,

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 1

27 October 2009 5:54 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Given man's unwavering fascination with woman, it's no surprise that the female star acts as the anchor to a dominant portion of horror pictures. I mean really, who wants to see a bare chested man tearin ass through the woods screaming at the top of his lungs while a bladed assailant nips at his heels? I don't - I know that much, although I'm certain there are plenty of men who would disagree (and that's okay with me, to each his own!). The simple fact remains however, women bring a unique appeal and certain sensual atmosphere to film that no man ever could. And it's not all about gratuitous T&A.

There's a comforting quality in the hands of the heroine; a fascinating maternal strength that, as a man I cannot genuinely relate to. I can however admire, and in many cases it's nearly impossible to not admire the lone »

Daily Wtf: Twilight’s Edward Cullen named the most popular vampire in movies

26 October 2009 1:03 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Either it’s a sign of the end times or a sign of Twilight’s undying popularity (pun intended) but Robert Pattinson’s Edward Cullen has been named moviedom’s favorite vampire.

In a survey conducted by ad agency Pearl & Dean, Twilight’s Cullen received 38% of the vote from more than 3,000 movie-going fans. Behind Cullen is Christopher Lee’s classic Dracula and Wesley Snipes’ Blade. Fruity fanged one Lestat, played by Tom Cruise in Interview With the Vampire, was No.4.

Kate Beckinsale’s Selene from the first two Underworld films napped top prize for a female with Salma Hayek’s snake-charming and hip-shaking Santanico Pandermonium (From Dusk Till Dawn) taking second amongst women.

“People love to be scared witless, particularly at this time of year,” said Pearl & Dean CEO Kathryn Jacob. “Edward Cullen being voted firm favorite movie vampire is testament to the fact that people still enjoy a good bloodsucker. »

Teaser Trailer: Season of the Witch

22 October 2009 9:59 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

IGN have posted the new trailer for Nicolas Cage’s Season of the Witch. Cage seems to have a new movie coming out every week but the usual question we have to ask whenever his name is attached to anything is, ‘is it any good?!’.

Season of the Witch is directed by Dominic Sena who has previously brought us Gone in Sixty Seconds and Swordfish. He’s recently directed Whiteout which starred Kate Beckinsale, cost $35m to make and has recouped $12m at the box office. Not great figures eh! We’ll have to see how this new movie gets on. Check out the synopsis and trailer below.

A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence. A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore »

Las Vegas — Ever since their careers exploded around last year at this time, it's rare to see "Twilight" stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart doing anything other than slaving away on the sets of "New Moon" and the next sequel, "Eclipse." Now, Timbaland wants to give the sexy duo a chance to let their hair down on his next music video — and if anybody can make it happen, it's the Grammy-winning producer and rapper.

"I want certain people in the video," he revealed to us over the weekend at Justin Timberlake's charity concert, talking about "Morning After Dark," the first single off his upcoming album Shock Value 2, and featuring the new artist SoShy. "I want the same characters of 'Twilight, »

This Week in Trailers: 'Toy Story 3,' 'Up in the Air,' Some Other Stuff

11 October 2009 3:58 AM, PDT | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

As we do every weekend, it's time to hit the rewind button on the previous few days' worth of trailers, and as happens nearly every weekend, the number of must-see trailers is outweighed by...the other ones.

On the one hand, we've got Toy Story 3 - which debuted before the weekend rather than the previously announced Monday - and a second, more mainstream trailer at Jason Reitman's Oscar front-runner, Up in the Air with George Clooney. On the other we've got Everybody's Fine, a new ensemble comedy with Robert De Niro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale, and Sam Rockwell. Two others are somewhere in between.
